Donna (Jennifer Gareis) couldn’t believe Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) had betrayed Katie (Heather Tom).  As usual, Brooke made a bunch of excuses for her marriage-busting behavior. 

Brooke told her sister she and Bill (Don Diamont) agreed it would never happen again. Donna said she didn’t care. She wanted to know how he could ever be a husband to Katie again.  Donna quickly agreed to help cover up the secret. She said she didn’t think Katie could survive such news. READ MORE

Should Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery) have been with Eric (John McCook), their kids and/or favorite daughter-in-law Taylor Hayes (Hunter Tylo) when she went to the Great Soap Museum in The Sky — as opposed to say, frenemy Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang)? The Bold and the Beautiful fans have debated this topic for months, but now, La Flannery herself has finally weighed in.

TV Guide Magazine's Michael Logan spoke with the legendary actress on the heels of her latest Daytime Emmy nomination. Golden ladies weren't all they dished about. Flannery also got real about her exit from the sudser.

TV Guide Magazine: You and Katherine both submitted the same episode — Stephanie dying with Brooke by her side. You never gave interviews at the end of your run on B&B so finally here's my chance to ask: How did you feel about the way your exit was written?

Flannery: I loved it. Toward the end, someone at the show told me Stephanie was going to die in, like, three weeks and I went up to Brad's office and said, "You're gonna have Brooke there with her at the end, right?" He looked up and gave me this great big grin and said, "Yes, that's who it is." I said, "Fabulous!" I think it worked out really well. READ MORE

Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Woods) and Liam (Scott Clifton) returned from their honeymoon. They stopped by Spencer Publications, where Bill (Don Diamont) and Katie (Heather Tom) were in his office. That sure was one short honeymoon.

After Bill left, Katie told Liam and Steffy how happy she was for them. She mentioned their child was lucky, because of the loyalty Spencer men possess. Did Katie not just live through the past two years of Hope/Liam/Steffy hell? If there is one thing Liam isn’t, it is loyal.

At Forrester, Taylor (Hunter Tylo), Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), Donna (Jennifer Gareis) and Hope (Kim Matula) were all working on Caroline’s charity event. Boy, charity events sure get thrown together fast on The Bold and the Beautiful. It seems like it was only yesterday Caroline had the idea for it. Taylor inadvertently let it slip Liam and Steffy had returned.

After Brooke and Hope left, Donna lashed out at Taylor. She ordered the doctor to leave her sisters alone. Taylor pushed back at Donna, and asked if she wasn’t worried about Katie. Donna told Taylor that Brooke and Bill didn’t cross the line. She insisted neither would actually go through with it, because they knew what it would do to Katie. READ MORE

Eric (John McCook) asked Taylor (Hunter Tylo) if his defending Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) had upset her. Taylor was hurt that he stood up for Brooke. Eric said he wanted peace for his family. Taylor said she’d drop it, if she believed Brooke was telling everything. However, as a doctor and a woman, she doesn’t believe her nemesis.

Brooke visited her doctor, who asked if she was repressing anything.  Brooke had a bit of a hot flash. She had to take off her blazer and drink a glass of water. The doctor said she would run some tests to see if she was beginning menopause. The possibility of going through menopause shook Brooke emotionally.

Even though she didn’t yet have the test results back, Brooke told Eric she was going through menopause.  She told him that she felt like a part of her life was ending. Dear Soap God in heaven, please do not let Brooke be preggers with Bill’s (Don Diamont) baby! READ MORE
